The Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) is a medium-sized North American lynx. It is famous for its tufted ears, long, dense fur, and snowshoe-like paws. They can be found across Alaska, Canada, and northern areas of the United States.
These mid-sized felines typically measure 73 and 107 cm. (29 and 42 in.) in total length and stand 48–56 cm (19–22 in) tall at the shoulder. They are sexually dimorphic, with males being significantly larger than females: Females weigh around 5–12 kg (11–26 lb.) whereas males around 6–17 kg (13–37 lb.). An interesting feature is their hind legs- like bobcats, their hind legs are longer than the front legs. This makes their backs slope downward.
Their signature fluffy coat is solid colored with no markings except towards the underside. The coat's thickness provides warmth and protection in the lynx's chilly home. Fur color ranges from yellowish brown to brown to buff gray, depending on the location. The length also varies depending on the season, being shorter in the summer and longer in the winter. Their tail tips are completely black.
The lynx's primary habitat is in the dense boreal forest of Canada. This habitat range strongly coincides with that of the snowshoe hare. In the United States, it can be found in the Blue Mountains and the Cascade Range, the Rocky Mountains, the northern Great Lakes region, and northern New England. They generally avoid open areas despite good prey availability. Heavily logged lands and agricultural land are difficult for it to survive in, but can thrive in deforested areas that have been left to regenerate. It is considered to be extirpated in several US states, including New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Nevada, Indiana, and Ohio.
